Romeo Must Die

Jet Li takes the title role in this loose modern-day retelling of Romeo and Juliet, with the 'star-cross'd lovers' a gangster's daughter and an ex-cop hunting his brother's killer. Their ill-fated romance unfolds in the middle of a mob war between rival American and Chinese factions, and martial arts mayhem soon ensues. Stylish, but frequently over-simplified, adventure with Aaliyah, Isaiah Washington, Delroy Lindo and Russell Wong.

This hip-hop Romeo and Juliet is awful.

Parents need to know that this movie has very strong violence, some girl/girl kissing, drug use, and that it's really dumb (especially the ending, in which Han and Trish wander out of a house full of dead people, and the police completely ignore them).
